My nephew learned to swim here and had a great experince! I thought I would enroll my son as he…read moreloves the going to the pond, beach and pools. He enjoyed the introductory class, so we signed him up for group lessons. Something to know: they do not allow "floaties" or "bubbles", they swim with an instructor assisting them if necessary, use a bar with floats on the ends or stand on this really large block in the water with railings where they can stand and wait turns to swim. Parents are not allowed in the water for group lessons. My son has mild autism and really needs one to one in the water, but they have a 6 month wait for private lessons. I went with him for 2 group lessons and did not realize the groups could be larger than 3 with only 1 instructor usually, he requires more attention unfortunately and will not return. Very well organized, kind and welcoming staff with excellent facilities.

My daughters look forward to swim every week. They also do fun family swims monthly. Not only do…read morethey love the warm pool and learning new swim skills, they love making new friends and seeing their coaches every week. When we are out swimming like when we went away or at a friend's birthday party, I always get asked where they take swimming lessons because of how much they can do and it makes themselves so proud. I would definitely recommend Goldfish Danvers to anyone!

If your child has learning disabilities or has anxiety problems in which you have to verbally cue…read moreyour child to listen to the instructors because their ADHD and anxiety is severe, SKIP THIS PLACE. I was admonished by the "Owner" because he thinks his program is one size fits all and he knows my child better than me. My son spent 5 years somewhere else before here and thought it would be different since we could actually sit in on the lessons, which we couldn't do at the previous place we went. Well after 4 weeks before today (Week 4 was the first one I was present for, my wife did the first 3 weeks) , he was no better off than he was before he came here. He only started doing what they asked after my interventions, which were no worse than me saying "You got this buddy" ,"You can do it" or "Come on, you got to get your hair wet", promising him rewards and followed by "Good job" when he did it. I was then told by the "Owner" that he knew how to get my child to respond better than me then accused me of making my son nervous when he WASN'T LISTENING BEFORE to the instructor. After a low key argument with him, I was told that I was not welcome back, which is ok, because my son didn't learn anything anyway after the 5th week. So again, as a parent, if your child only responds to your words, DO NOT COME HERE. And btw, singing nursery rhymes to a 9 year old to encourage them to swim DOESN'T WORK. For the price you pay per lesson, go somewhere else.

Our experience with Swimm With Timm has been absolutely outstanding. What truly sets them apart is…read moretheir commitment to quality instruction and their small 4:1 student-to-coach ratio, which allows every swimmer to receive real, individualized attention. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about teaching proper technique. Instead of crowded classes where kids get lost in the group, each swimmer receives feedback, corrections, and encouragement throughout the lesson. You can genuinely see the progress week by week, not just in swimming skills, but also in confidence in the water. If you're looking for a swim program that prioritizes safety, technique, and personal development, Swimm With Timm is truly one of the best choices in the area. Highly recommended!

My son has grown leaps and bounds in swim classes with swim with Timm due to their extremely supportive and knowledgeable staff. They are always challenging all of the kids and switching things up each and every class. They class size is super small which makes it easier for kids and especially my son to learn and grow. Whenever I have questions, I can always count on Liz and Tim, along with swim instructors to help. I will continue to keep referring all of my friends to swim with Timm because they are the best swim class in the north shore

This is an awesome community pool for city folk to cool off at. It's a pretty long drive to the…read morebeach from this corner of Somerville, so it's great to have somewhere closer to pop in on a hot summer day. Entry is $2 for adults, or you can pay $40 for a season pass. The parking lot is small, but there's additional parking at Dilboy stadium a short walk away. No food or drink allowed (besides water of course) which is a bummer, but makes sense for health and cleanliness issues. A few other reviewers thought the pool was dirty, but I haven't found that to be true. The locker rooms/bathrooms are a little rough, but it's an old community pool, what do you expect? It's pretty packed with kids so this is not the place to come for peace and quiet. Regardless, this will be a regular haunt of mine this summer for sure!

You have to bring your own chairs/towels to sit on as they don't have them, but they DO have children's life vests for kids that may not own one (and can't swim yet).
